Answer:the number of cars that were washed is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that members of a senior class.

Let y represent the number of pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle that members of a senior class.

They charged $3 to wash a car and $5 to wash a pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle and they earned a total of $275. This means that

3x + 5y = 275 - - - - - - - - -- - -1

They washed a total of 75 vehicles. This means that

x + y = 75

Substituting x = 75 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(75 - y) + 5y = 275

225 - 3y + 5y = 275

- 3y + 5y = 275 - 225

2y = 50

y = 50/2 = 25

Substituting y = 25 into x = 75 - y, it becomes

x = 75 - 25 = 50

Georgia [21]

Answer:

X-int: (1/2 , 0) . Y-int: (0 , 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

FOR X

To find the x-intercept, substitute in  0 for Y and solve for X.

0 = -8x + 4

1. Move 4 to the left side so it's -4 = -8x

2. Divide by -8 to isolate X so it's -4/-8 = x

3. The negatives cancel out and become positive

4. Answer: X = 1/2

FOR Y

To find the y-intercept, substitute in  0 for X and solve for Y.

Y = -8(0) + 4

1. Since anything multipled by 0 is 0, it simply becomes Y = 4.

Answer: Y = 4
